Most of the applications implemented in embedded systems use timers equipped in MCU. The purposes of timer usage of the applications lie in a wide range of areas such as implementing software timers of real-time operating systems to measuring processing time of sensors. The elapsed times measured by the applications are various in length as well as in precision ranging from several us to several hundreds of ms. The paper analyzes the timing error factors caused by un- synchronizing timer clock pulse when timers are manipulated, and proposes a method of how to synchronize timer clock pulse to reduce the timing errors. As a result of an experiment, this paper shows that an error of 230us is reduced within 10us in case of appling the proposed method to a 4096Hz timer prescaled from 32768Hz by 8.

In this paper, we propose a Micro Real-Time Control System (MRTCS) for decreasing the delay during interrupts processing and data transfer on sensor nodes. The MRTCS consists of a control, sensor nodes based on Controller Area Network (CAN) device. The control node was designed with Real Time Operating System (RTOS) on top of the small Micro Control Unit (sMCU). Sensor nodes have the CAN device without sMCU, which have multiple Digital Inputs, Outputs (DI/DO) and the CAN controller. We have evaluated with OCTAVE v3.6.4 from open source for system performance. Simulation results show that the system performance was increased through the delay reducing for interrupt processing and internal data transfer. We verify that a proposed MRTCS approach will be adapted to various real-time control system.

In this paper, we propose the development of high-sensitivity low-end radiation measuring sensor module. The proposed measurement sensor module is a scintillator + photomultiplier(SiPM) sensor optimization structure design, amplification and filter and control circuit design for sensor driver, control circuit design including short-distance communication, sensor mechanism design and manufacturing, and GUI development applied to prototypes consists of, etc. The scintillator + photomultiplier(SiPM) sensor optimization structure design is designed by checking the characteristics of the scintillator and the photomultiplier (SiPM) for the sensor structure design. Amplification, filter and control circuit design for sensor driver is designed to process fine scintillation signal generated by radiation with a scintillator using SiPM. Control circuit design including short-distance communication is designed to enable data transmission through MCU design to support short-range wireless communication function and wired communication support. The sensor mechanism design and manufacture is designed so that the glare generated by wrapping a reflective paper (mirroring) on the outside of the plastic scintillator is reflected to increase the efficiency in order to transmit the fine scintillation signal generated from the plastic scintillator to the photomultiplier(SiPM). The GUI development applied to the prototype expresses the date and time at the top according to each screen and allows the measurement unit and time, seconds, alarm level, communication status, battery capacity, etc. to be expressed. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, the results of experiments conducted by an authorized testing institute showed that the radiation dose measurement range was 30 𝜇Sv/h ~ 10 mSv/h, so the results are the same as the highest level among products sold commercially at domestic and foreign. In addition, it was confirmed that the measurement uncertainty of ±7.4% was measured, and normal operation was performed under the international standard ±15%.

The most essential element in wireless sensor network is wireless sensor node which collects environmental information and transmits it to the user application systems. Recently, due to the technological advancement, wireless sensor nodes are become smaller, more intelligent and less power consuming. Especially, SoC(System-on-Chip) technology, which unifies the MCU, RF module, memory and other element inside one chip, plays an important part for miniaturization of sensor node, hence reduces the manufacturing expenses. In this paper, we have designed a miniaturized wireless sensor node for wireless sensor network using commercial SoC technology and discussed about some application scenario and additional considerations.

본 연구는 센서 네트워크용 운영체제인 TinyOS의 메시지 길이를 효율적으로 관리하여 저전 손실을 줄인 센서 네트워크의 연구이다. 센서 네트워크에서 가장 큰 전력 손실을 가져오는 부분은 RF통신 부분이라 할 수 있다. 메시지의 길이에 따라 길이가 길면 더욱더 통신 시간이 길어지므로 전력 손실은 커질 것이다. 이와 같은 토픽에 따라 메시지의 길이를 줄여 줌으로써 RF통신에 이용되는 전력을 줄여 보고자 하는 것이다. 사용된 시뮬레이터는 TinyOS에서 자체 제공 되는 TOSSIM을 이용 하였으며 MCU가 데이터를 처리하는데 소모되는 전력과 RF 통신에 따라 소모되는 전력을 나타내었다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 메시지의 길이가 줄어들면 전력 소모가 줄어드는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 더 나아가 거리간의 차이에 의한 전력 소모량도 연구 되어야 할 것이다.

In this paper, we implemented an image sensor module possible of detecting color temperature in an indoor environment. The color temperature information in the video information acquired by the image sensor was matched with a color difference illuminometer to produce an LUT. An algorithm was developed so that color temperature information according to the received RGB values can be automatically calculated. As a result of measuring the color temperature with an image sensor indoors, an accurate result of less than 5.91% was obtained compared to the reference value. It was confirmed that the uniformity of 23.5% or more was excellent compared to the color temperature measurement result using a color sensor.

고립된 해상 작업 환경에서의 작업자의 건강상태 관리와 혹시 모를 추락탐지는 작업자의 안전을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고립공간 작업자의 안전을 모니터링하기 위한 헬멧에 부착할 수 있는 IoT 시스템을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이는 장치가 작업 중에 긴급 상황인지 신속하게 판단할 수 있다. 스마트폰은 누구나 들고 다니기 때문에 사용자 환경은 스마트폰을 이용하여 적용되었다. 작업자들이 착용할 용도이기 때문에 PPG 센서는 불편하지 않도록 귀에 부착한다. PPG 센서를 단독으로 사용하여 스트레스 정도를 파악한다. 3축 가속도 센서는 헬멧에 부착되고 추락을 감지하는데 사용된다. 우리는 여러 센서와 블루투스 통신을 이용하여 발전된 센서 시스템을 만든다. 또한, 우리는 3축 가속도 샘플을 분석하고 정규화하는 알고리즘을 JAVA에서 구현하였다. 스마트 폰을 사용하는 이점은 신호 처리를 위해 별도의 마이크로프로세서(mcu)가 필요하지 않으며 내부 통신 시스템을 통해 제어 센터에 정보를 전송할 수 있다는 것이다.

An LED lighting which adjusted brightness according to the surround ambient implemented using PWM technology and power devices. To measure the brightness of surround ambient a CdS sensor was used. A control board for the generation of the PWM signal was made using a MCU and duty ratio was controlled according to light intensity of surround ambient of the system. To drive the LED lamps which require high-voltage and high-current power devices were used for switching the DC power supply. Measurement results show that the IGBT is excellent as only lineality but the PowerBJT is more good to consider to efficiency and cost.
